Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue."

"It is extremely simple to manage and deploy."

"On the management side, we liked the way it displays things."

"The solution is very quick at easily changing the levels of protection for each computer and the server."

"It is a good endpoint solution. It is very easy to manage and detect the threat immediately. It will take the necessary actions."

"It secures different entry points into the network."

"The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well."

"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The product’s interface is easy to use."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

Cons

"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."

"The stability could be improved."

"While you are working, you are finding these things that were supposed to be waived have come back to being blocked. That's frustrating."

"Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment."

"It should provide more details about the events that they have detected."

"Making the dashboards a bit modern to make them easier to search would also be helpful."

"The AI of CylancePROTECT has room for improvement. I'm on a trial license of SentinelOne, and its AI is much better than what's on CylancePROTECT."

"I would like to see them fix the alerting system so that the endpoint reporting is a bit more streamlined."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"The implementation is not easy."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"They should improve their user interface."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for us at the moment. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten."

"The product cost is about $5, per user, per month."

"The monthly fee is $55 USD per user."

"Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."

"Currently, we have competitive pricing for Cylance, which is affordable enough to consider."

"This cost of the license is approximately $5 USD monthly per user."

"CylancePROTECT's pricing is reasonable, at about €18 per user, per year."

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"The product is very expensive."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
